UniSA’s strategic intent is to differentiate UniSA as a true University of Enterprise. To help achieve this ambition, the University has identified a unique set of core behavioural attributes to guide our development as an enterprising workforce and culture. To exemplify the essence and culture of an enterprising workforce, our aspiration is that each of our staff will:

Be trusted, authentic and self-aware

Take the initiative and deliver results

Provide solutions

Communicate with impact

Lead and work well with others

These five attributes are incorporated within our recruitment processes and are continually reinforced when we engage in conversations with our staff. They are embedded into our daily working lives. Quite simply, our core attributes can be described as ‘the way we do things around here’.
